Grand Seiko

hi - I know the background but I do not know the prices well. Some are selling for thousands SH and others are for hundreds. Are the quartz versions much cheaper? I presume the snowflake is the most desirable?

No, this is:

A steal at EUR370,000.

It’s designed to counteract the effect of gravity so they will fly off the shelves at that price

AFAIK, quartz movements will be the cheapest. But I don't see the point of an expensive quartz watch.

I do like the appeal of Spring Drive, but can't get past the idea it's another electronically regulated watch powered by a mechanical movement.

I'm forever contemplating buying a GMT Spring Drive Grand Seiko.

The retro one's are by far the classiest, I have a Seiko Presage 'Cocktail' a cheapy at £400, but it looks great.

I bought my dad a Presage as a gift and it is a lovely watch for the money
